NOTE: Nettie was named after her maternal aunt, Antoinette Underhill.
Nettie was four years old when her mother died, so her father, Robert, gave her to William and Mary Rice Colwell to adopt/foster/raise as their only child. The Colwells and Robert's parents are buried in the same cemetery in New York, so it is assumed they knew each other as close family friends.
Nettie is on the Colwell's 1870 Census as Hattie Colwell then living with them again in 1880 with her husband and daughter Edith Mary Antoinette. It is the only record where Nettie goes by the name Edith and her daughter Edith goes by the name Mary. Maybe little Edith went by Mary to honor Nettie's adopted mother, Mary Rice Colwell. These name changes and census records make the research path to Nettie's life rather difficult.
William and Mary Rice Colwell's FAG profiles are #68221599 and #68221598. Please remember them with gratitude there if you descend from Nettie.
